This area has been around but it's still new to me. I only really began to explore it for the velvet ribbon quest. The following things have me stumped:
What is the purpose of the wood-nymph?
You might ask the wood-nymph about the Megaera Plateau.
How do you get into the Boatmakers Cave (a hidden exit off the Rocky Path, but when you head that way you get the you quickly find yourself back where you started message)?
You might ask either the Admiral or the General about boats or boatmakers.....this is part of a quest.
Is there any way to get over the chain at the entrance other than flying? (tried jump, hop, leap...finally had to get a vial from lotus eater)
Yes, you "lift" the chain.
If you could organize your thoughts on the Carthage area, and start a guide...that would be a great place to start building out the knowledge of this area. I'll be happy to provide any knowledge I have if you post questions. I really want to see the wikiboard get used more so that it is a living 'guide' to every area on legend.
